Identification of GCD14 and GCD15, novel genes required for translational repression of GCN4 mRNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract:

:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expression of the transcriptional activator GCN4 increases at the translational level in response to starvation for an amino acid. The products of multiple GCD genes are required for efficient repression of GCN4 mRNA translation under nonstarvation conditions. The majority of the known GCD genes encode subunits of the general translation initiation factor eIF-2 or eIF-2B. To identify additional initiation factors in yeast, we characterized 65 spontaneously arising Gcd- mutants. In addition to the mutations that were complemented by known GCD genes or by GCN3, we isolated mutant alleles of two new genes named GCD14 and GCD15. Recessive mutations in these two genes led to highly unregulated GCN4 expression and to derepressed transcription of genes in the histidine biosynthetic pathway under GCN4 control. The derepression of GCN4 expression in gcd14 and gcd15 mutants occurred with little or no increase in GCN4 mRNA levels, and it was dependent on upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in GCN4 mRNA that regulate its translation. We conclude that GCD14 and GCD15 are required for repression of GCN4 mRNA translation by the uORFs under conditions of amino acid sufficiency. The gcd14 and gcd15 mutations confer a slow-growth phenotype on nutrient-rich medium, and gcd15 mutations are lethal when combined with a mutation in gcd13. Like other known GCD genes, GCD14 and GCD15 are therefore probably required for general translation initiation in addition to their roles in GCN4-specific translational control.
